Hey!I've been having some difficult money troubles and have decided to take about a 2 month break until I can catch up. I was laid off from my mortgage job since they wanted to pay someone cheaper in another country... go figure.I've been working part-time, graveyard shift through a new company, and honestly, its screwing with my daily schedule. I refuse to write half-butt chapters and want to give you the best of my imagination! There are so many ideas I have for Kiera and Calian. Once I get the time to get into my writing, I'll give you the best that I can. Maybe there will be a war. Maybe this mysterious witch will be involved in something. Maybe Lora will find a love. Maybe Kiera will be forced to marry someone else. Maybe Ahiga will entrap another young lady. WHO KNOWS!? Sometimes my mind doesn't even know! :D

Kiera2 WEEKS LATER...The lush grass tickled my exposed back as I layed there watching the little amount of clouds quickly move along the sky. The cooling breeze caused shivers to adorn my spine as my intuition caught on to the upcoming storm making it's way overhead. My sunbathing in the tan undergarments that I wore, was about to come to an end the moment the sky decided to let go of it's tears.Yet again, the calming scent of the murky lake water soothed my rising nerves. This felt more like a home to me than the village did recently. It was quiet and relaxing to be out here. I could be myself and collect my thoughts here, and yet, that nagging feeling was always present. Thinking about heading back to the village killed my mood quicker than I could prevent it.Whispers - everywhere I turned. Deep down, I knew it was home, but it no longer seemed that way to everyone around me. Even in my mother's voice, the sadness she felt towards me presented itself loud and clear.Depression

The major wedding is taking place tomorrow. A marriage between the Chief's daughter and Ahiga, a gallant warrior of great renown. That daughter is none other than me. Arranged marriages are very important in our tribe, the Asalog. Individuals marry one another because they are of like grade; two strong people get married together as much as two weak people. Historically, our customs were established to keep authority from controlling our lives. Yes, we have a Chief, but he was picked for his good acts rather than his power. Following his death, the tribe's protection is handed over to the next noble-hearted man who has shown himself worthy.A woman is unable to get the position of Chief. Not because she is a woman, but because our obligations are equally as vital as those of men. We are the chefs, instructors, healers, child carriers, and the ones that the men look to for guidance when it comes to making vital life and death decisions. Hunting and fighting are two things that

My mother took Ahiga’s position when he left and turned to me. My father had his eyes filled with love-longing after her. I longed to have that sensation for someone.“Dear, Naga informed me that you kicked her daughter.”I pealed my eyes from my father and rolled them again. “She tried to trip me as I was walking. I gave her a little nudge out of the way.”Leave it to Aila to go tattle to her mother.Mother eyed me, but smirked. “You know, doing nothing would get you the same revenge you seek? Especially, if this is over you marrying Ahiga.”“So, she will tattle on me even if I didn’t kick her?” I raised my eyes.She pursed her lips. “You know what I mean. Marrying that man will shut her up.”I crossed my arms and pouted. “If only being engaged to him would do the trick.”In response to Ahiga returning and standing by my father, she struck my u

I was irritated by the prospect of my father removing me from such an important meeting. Yes, one of the reasons I wanted to stay was because of Calian. Okay, so maybe it was the main reason I wanted to stay after all! Even though I had more than enough legal authority to remain at the meeting, my simple query immediately informed my father that I was interested in more than just the reasons for the new tribe's presence. In this instance, there was no "me getting ready for the wedding." The entire event would be planned by the tribe, and all I had to do was sit back and wait until it was time to say, "I do."Traveling down the dirt route leading out of the village and west to the lake helped me to relieve my frustration. I managed to escape anyone's gaze for a while, which saved me from snapping at someone. After passing the final cabin, the dirt route came to an end. Now it was time to walk barefoot along the soft grass, passinga dense stand of oak trees. The simple ac

I stalked home with a breeze between my legs, irritated with my encounter at the lake. The audacity with which the man presented himself in front of a nude woman made me sick to my stomach. At the same time, I couldn't help but want additional opportunities to see him. I knew guys had different body parts than women, but I was anxious to see what they looked like when they were nude, and he had only given me half of his body to look at! From the warriors at home, it was a view that I had seen many times before. Not one of them had ever piqued my interest enough to make me want to see more, and the foreign sensation blazed within of me.My interest was piqued by everything about Calian's character. I was interested in learning about the scar on his chest and what it was like to be labeled a traitor.What prompted him to offer to assist me in getting out of the wedding, and how would he go about doing so?As I approached the gravel road that led to our tiny villag

I awoke to the sound of bells ringing in my ears. It was the day of the wedding, and the bells signaled that everyone should get ready. From the kitchen, I could hear my mother whistling a lullaby. I suppose there was one positive aspect of the day; my mother was content, and I couldn't have asked for anything more.Rather than getting dressed as I normally would, I slid out of my bed and pushed through my fur curtain, wrapping myself in the sheepskin robe. My mother was seated at the kitchen table, doing the last few alterations to my bridal gown. She had spent months stitching it together with tan fur and silks, and she was proud of the result. It looked stunning, and if there was one thing that could brighten my day, it would be showing it off to the whole town.“Oh! Honey! I was just about to wake you. Are you ready to try it on?” She asked, beaming with pride.“I have to put it on sooner or later, right?” I giggled.“Did

As everyone at the wedding scrambled to flee from the stifling smoke, chaos ensued around us. Others, likemy mother, who were in command of their magic were able to clear the billows around them, allowing them to breathe from a bubble of fresh air.I gathered my thoughts in the way I had been instructed and concentrated on building my own oxygen cage. As the oxygen returned to my brain, I looked around the audience, initially searchingfor my family. My mother had managed to wrangle the Chief away from the throngs of people and was now attempting to assist those around her with their own bubbles of cleared air. Those who were unable to concentrate had fallen to the ground as the smoke climbed above their heads.Immediately next tome, Ahiga was resting on his stomach, struggling for air. As a result of the spiritual man's dismissal, the wedding came to an end. Having realized that I would not be getting married on this particular day, I felt a surge of

CalianI knew what would happen if I kept hanging around that girl. The stunning, dark-skinned brunette had drawn my attention the moment I had glimpsed upon her floating in that lake. Just from that moment, I knew how brazen she was. When her mouth opened and the music of her voice rang through my ears as she chewed me out, I was hooked. No matter what my infatuation with her was, she could never be mine. I slammed the wooden table in front of me as her face flashed in my head. The frown displayed on her face when I accepted what her father demanded of me, hurt.Kiera had trusted me. She put faith in me after seeing her naked so many times and I betrayed her. Although her nudeness was innocent on her end, the thoughts running through my head were not. Several times a day, I had found myself hard, daydreaming about smothering my face between her sumptuous breasts and taking in her lovely scent of embarrassment. Realization of my wayward thoughts hit me as I struggled to adjust the

The warrior being hounded, had his hands raised in protest. He was trying to keep a distance from my father. My father had his hands on his hips, looking down at the warrior, waiting for him to move away first before he took any action against him. As we approached, I saw the anger building up in him and I knew that this time he would not hold back, even if it meant putting our tribe in danger by doing so."Chief, your daughter is right here. Please calm down." Calian shouted before we could reach them.My father spun himself to face us. His face was red from fury."Why is she here?" He bellowed."Dad, I'm not a little kid anymore. Calian was helping..." Before I could finish, my dad interrupted me."YOU be quiet! I am speaking with the Chief of this tribe. Not you!" I could imagine the beating I would get when we got home tonight just from his tone.I dropped my head in shame, but Calian backed me up. "As she said, I was helping her to understand our tribe. Showing her, we could all

She continued. “Well, it did work out for him. He lost all his power and most of his influence within the tribe. All our food supplies dwindled. The only way he could feed the pack was by doing bad things to other people. As I’m sure you’ve already heard; Cannibalism.”Lora laughed and I could only sit there, dumfounded. Charlie let out a snort along with her.I clasped my hands in front of myself and ignored her ‘pack’ phrase. “Why didn’t you guys rebel sooner?”"Kiera, I know you have never rebelled like that in your life. Neither had we."I felt a tear slide down my cheek. It was true. I hated the constant questioning, the never-ending investigation, and the fact that I felt so alone in it. It didn't help knowing how I would bring shame to my family if I went against the Tribe's rules."I am sorry.""I

The cottage was filled with a flurry of magical energy. Even though I was born a witch, I had no problem with the subject matter. Because Calian had mentioned that their tribe no longer had any witches, the magic took me by surprise. The fact that he claimed there were no witches does not rule out the possibility of magic being practiced by those who lack the title. Whatever the case may be, it was completely out of my hands.When I looked about at the décor, I saw that there were no furs on display, which was unlike the way they were in my hometown. Herbs of all kinds were drying from the ceiling, though. Those odors overwhelmed my nostrils. Lilac, pine, cedar, peppermint, spearmint, aloe vera, and a slew of other scents were in the air. It was nearly too much to bear, but I tried to keep my mind on whatLora hadmuttered... My enticing smell...What on earth was an"arousal"? With so many various fragrances in the air

When I pulled my face away from his muscular back, I noticed the gate that surrounded their settlement. It was absolutely stunning! As an alternative to chopping down trees to construct a barricade separating them from the outside world, they had grown redwood trees around the perimeter of their camp. Between the trunks, they had bamboo filling in the gaps. The bamboo was cut back in a neat way to keep it from growing too big. I squeezed Calian's hand that was still holding mine. "How did you grow those so fast?" A small sneeze escaped him and he murmured "excuse me" before turning to meet my eyes. His gaze was unreadable as his mouth quirked up into a sly smile. "We had a witch." My heart raced as the phrase "had" kept replaying in my head. "What happened to the witch?" His smirk dropped into a frown. "She betrayed us." As something that I couldn't place ignited in his eyes for a split second, he shrugged. It was almost as if his eyes w

Hey! Sorry I didn't upload the past TWO weeks... I know... I'm a bad girl. :'( I had to plan our week-long vacation for my kid's birthday vacation. We went and played in snow for the first time! We live in the Sunshine State so snow is a Legendary Rarity. LOL BUT I am back now, and got laid off from my main job since no one wants to refinance homes during this economical downfall. It's a Seller's Market where I live right now. Yippee! Goodbye high paying job! My plan is to focus on writing more, and hopefully finish this book within the month of April, but I NEED YOU to push me. Comment and leave reviews! Don't be afraid to interact with me! I love it! My wishes are also out to everyone in the Ukraine! Please stay safe and stand your ground! Fight for your freedom! You all deserve it but you don't deserve to have to fight for it. XOXO - KittyKitKat

The heat of Ahiga's rage shuddered through my bones as I huddled against Calian's back. Fear was not something I was accustomed to experiencing. Fighting back was ingrained in my bones, and I refused to allow myself to be manipulated or bullied by him. I was concerned by his anger directed at the man who was defending me, but I couldn't put my finger on why. What was it about this stranger's safety that I was so concerned about? I felt Calian lift his arms up and shrug. "Even if I knew where she was, what makes you think I'd tell you?" "She is my betrothed which makes her MINE." Ahiga shouted. I could hear the annoyance starting to boil over in my "fiance". Calian shook his head. "No, no she isn't. Even if she were to marry you, she is still her own person. You do not own her. Kiera is allowed to make her own choices." "Since when are you on a first name basis with her!?" I heard Ahiga sneer. When the man in front of me folded hi
